I Love love love this one Susie!!! I can so relate to it, and I love the powerful message it carries with it! We must not be cattle that go with the flow to the pasture, we need to bend normal. I love the imagery, my favorite is the first one, just amazing writing here!! Can't believe it was lost in the drafts. So glad you found it!

I am so glad you posted this poem, Susie.💞 It's not easy being a person who's different and who always stands out from the crowd. The world shuns people like us..(maybe because they are afraid and don't fully understand us) but at the end of the day, we know we are better off without them because we have learned to love and accept ourselves.💞

Life's to short not to break crayons or....not to color outside the lines or to color the hair of people purple and green...I too would rather spend my time dancing alone instead of taking that fatal Kool Aid smile into myself. Super poem! I was the kid who was always on the fringes, always being ignored. I liked it that way!
